The contact stated the components under the dashboard got wet. Therefore, he took the vehicle to the dealership. They found the components were wet because the windshield was installed improperly. The windshield could be moved out one inch. The dealership stated it was probably a factory defect. But the warranty expired, and H the contact would have to pay for the repairs, which have been made. All of the electronic components under the dashboard had to be replaced.
